Belonging to a group of dedicated conservation professionals can assist public water supply utilities in implementing cost-effective demand management programs. The FSAWWA Water Use Efficiency Division offers that opportunity. Study after study has shown that properly planned implementation of water conservation “Best Management Practices” (BMPs) can enhance a utility’s water supply at costs far below that of other “Alternative Water Supplies”.

WATER MEANS EVERYTHING!

For our future generations, we need to conserve today! Be a steward of our water community. Educate, empower, inform and enlighten. Click here to watch a video.

APRIL IS WATER CONSERVATION MONTH IN FLORIDA

2024 is the 26-year anniversary since April was first established as Water Conservation Month in Florida. During this time, we have made great strides towards understanding the impacts of water efficiency and water conservation programs. To recognize these efforts, the Florida Section AWWA (FSAWWA), in coordination with Florida's water management districts and Florida Department of Environmental Protection, are once again asking local governments, water utilities, and other organizations to adopt a resolution or proclamation declaring April as Water Conservation Month. Now, more than ever water conservation is becoming more important across our great state, and what better way to spread the word than encouraging your organization to proclaim April as Water Conservation Month.

It's important that you add your Water Conservation Month proclamation to the statewide list. Each year, the FSAWWA works with the state governor and cabinet to proclaim "April as Water Conservation Month.” By adopting Water Conservation Month and adding your proclamation to the statewide list, you are letting Florida's elected officials know just how important water efficiency and water conservation practices are to local governments, water utilities, and other organizations in Florida.

We are asking that utilities throughout the state adopt this proclamation and get your efforts in water conservation recognized! For this, the 26th year of bringing attention to water conservation, the FSAWWA is including a theme, which for 2024 is "Outdoor Irrigation". We are asking utilities and local governments to include an emphasis on improving outdoor irrigation efficiency as an important action for conserving this precious resource.

To add your proclamation to the statewide list of entities proclaiming Water Conservation Month this year, please email your proclamation and its adoption date to Jenny Arguello at jenny@fsawwa.org.

Your continued support of water conservation and water use efficiency in Florida through participation in this 26th annual event is appreciated!
